The Enterprise arrives at the newly established Starbase 173, near the Neutral Zone - presumably to replace the ones destroyed in "The Neutral Zone".
   
First appearance of the famous Next Generation Poker Game. This time featuring Pulaski, Geordi, Data, O'Brien and Riker. O'Brien claims his luck is lousy unless he sits to the right of the dealer. They play a five-card stud, no wilds, and Data swiftly looses out to a Riker bluff. Pulaski deals the next game, a seven card high low with a bye on the last card and "the man with the axe takes all".
   
A court-martial is described as "standard" when any Starfleet vessel is lost.
   
Phillipa Louvois presided over the Stargazer inquest, and subsequently left Starfleet. She rejoined later, taking a position as an officer of the Judge Advocate General.
   
Admiral Nakamura states that "for five hundred years ships who've borne the name Enterprise have been a legend. This one is no different."
   
Riker's access code is "theta-alpha-2-737-blue".
   
Maddox was the sole member of the evaluation committee to oppose Data's entry to Starfleet on the grounds he wasn't sentient.
   
Data has received Starfleet Decorations for Valour and Gallantry, a Medal of Honor with clusters, the Legion of Honor and the Star Cross.
   
Data's ultimate storage capacity is "eight hundred quadrillion bits" and his computational speed is rated at "sixty trillion operations per second".
   
Worf's farewell present to Data is "The Dream of the Fire" by K'Ratak. However, Pulaski causes an argument when she claims the Klingons had nothing to do with the structure of the book.
   
The Acts of Cumberland were passed in the early 21st Century and seem to indicate that Starfleet own Data as property.
   
Webster's 24th Century Dictionary (fifth edition) describe an android as "an automaton made to resemble a human being".
   
This episode is picked up in season four's "Data's Day" when Data is seen corresponding to Maddox.
